Nevertheless
they hurried down the hill to see what Willy was really doing. By this time they could hear Willy saying: "Tickets, please! Have your tickets ready! All aboard!"
When they reached the edge of the Pine Tree Grove they found Willy standing in front of a large cracked rock. That is, It was a rock about foot high with a crooked crack running down the middle from top to bottom. It was rather a wide crack. If you were a bug, you could squeeze yourself through it.

"Right here," replied Willy. And quickly changing his con- ductor's hat for a ticket-seller's hat, he said: "How many tickets, please? And where to?"
"Two tickets to the other side of the bill," said Hanid. "How much are they?"

TV Fans

The ghost of Catherine Howard disappointed two million British television fans recently, and turned the British Broadcasting Corporation's "Haunted House" programme into a mere trave- logue.
The shade of King Henry VIII's fifth wife who was be- headed in 1542 had been hope- fully booked, and three televison cameras, an infra-red spotlight and transmitting gear involving more than 900 tubes were set up to command Hampion Count's "haunted gallery."
All the video fans got, how- ever, was a view of the "pericd atmosphere" of Britain's historic
No palaces,
actors living appeared either.
BBC announcer, Miss Audrey Russell, described the scene from off stage in a tense whisper as though she expected the ghost to appear at any moment and the cameras were operated in the same spirit,
Legend has it that Catherine walks through the gallery as she did in 1542 to plead with Henry not to have her beheaded.

"The Underground Express," Neither Knarf nor Hanid sald they had ever heard of such a train. "Where is it? Knarf wanted to know.
"The station is right on the other side of this crack in the rook. I really shouldn't call it a crack in the rock," Willy cor- rected himself. "I should call it the gate."
The train turned out to be five or six earthworms, one right behind the other. "It's a worm train!" cried Hanid.
And that's what it was! Knart and Hanid joined the others on the worm train. Soon, with a shrill whlatle from the first, or locomotive worm, the train started crawling off, wriggling arst, taking the aches and swaying as it went.
